Manticore's are not best-in-slot if they are cheap ones with junky stats. A best-in-slot item is an item that has the best possible stats to do the highest damage. It's not the name of the item. There are many items better than a bad manticore. I just wanted to point that out.
For a manticore to be "best in slot", it has to produce damages that are higher than the other items. In order to do this, you need 1050 reported dps with 250+ dex and 2 sockets with perfect gems. Or, you need 1150-1200 dps with a less dex and 2 sockets with 2 perfect gems. Anything less, and of course there are lots of bows and rares that will be better than manticore. Obviously. Should go without saying. You get what you pay for.
I checked out your build in your profile, and the reason you're slow with ball lightning is because you're not using tactical advantage. You need to shoot the balls and constantly studder-step or vault forward into the enemies. Don't wait for the balls to connect. Run into them and keep moving.
Also, with your DPS, you'd be crazy to do MP3. 135k dps is NOT enough for MP3. I don't care if you're using Multishot or Ball Lightning. It's not enough. That's not a fault of the skills. That's a fault of the MP selection. You gain absolutely nothing by playing on MP3 with your gear. You shouldn't even be doing MP2. I do 70% more dps than you, and even I think MP3 is too slow.
If you took out Steady Aim for Tactical Advantage, you'd probably do around 100k dps. That's enough for MP0 speed-farming. MP1 would even take too long.

Re: How to Multishot - A Speedfarming DH Guide
Manti damage is about 32% to 51% poison damage; since the base black damage is nonrandom, generally speaking the more damage the Manti deals, the more of it is poison. The only two ways a Manti can increase DPS without increasing the poison-to-black ratio are:
1) Attack speed from 10% to 11%. Small difference and doesn't help DPA.
2) The % weapon damage mod, which would be one of the two random mods a high-end Manti receives (the other being socketed). This means that if you have two 11% attack speed mantis that both list for the same DPS and have about the same Int bonus, but one has 35% weapon damage and the other has 46%, the 46er is the better of the two.

Re: How to Multishot - A Speedfarming DH Guide
I don't run an Soj, so the only % increase I would get would be from Inna's Favor. I found a mighty good rare crossbow the other day though, and it still couldn't beat my manticore with my current gear setup. I guess the rest of the gear matters too.

As a reference I had a rare cbow with about 1300 dps and 160 dex /100 CD(socket)
I bought a manticore with 190 dex and effectively 285 CD.
The manticore took my DPS from about 100k up to 125k. However, it also increase my run times by about 10% or so on mp0. And it wasn't anything to do with hated, I still had plenty.

Re: How to Multishot - A Speedfarming DH Guide
I find this thread very interesting. According to the wisdom in it, my farming MF DH is something my girlfriend would call a hot mess.
My DH uses evasive fire/covering fire and ball lightning, spike trap for elites. I've got about 90k dmg, but still have a few pieces of MF gear on. I try to gradually replace it as I gain paragon levels. I was using a 13xx windforce, but a friend found a 1050 2 socket manticore so I've been using that instead.
I don't run short loot circuits, normally I either do key runs or play through an act from start to finish. Going all the way through Act 3 including all subdungeons might take me about 2-2.5 hours and I'll net maybe 30m xp and maybe 1-2 legendaries or sets. I have a hard time actually doing it on MP0 because it's so boring. I usually set it to MP1 or MP2 depending on mood.
I find the advice on here fairly interesting regarding skill based on weapon. I always liked multi shot and am tempted to give it a try, although I don't want to change out a bunch of gear. I really like covering fire against elites, since you hit all 3 at once.

Re: How to Multishot - A Speedfarming DH Guide
I've actually been using a Multishot build for quite some time, before and after 1.05.
The original suggested build was very much like the one in the OP. However I played around with it a lot and made it more to my liking, as can be seen on my DH here:
I found that MS was not that efficient against single targets like bosses. Thus I went with guided arrow at first for single targets as well as extra hatred generation; and later switched to Bola Shot. Once Bola Shot's radius got increased with 1.05, I found myself using that more often than Multishot. Either way you play it, using a hatred generator eliminates your utter need for health globes, which are random and are thus unreliable. Thus a hatred generator is, in my opinion, more valuable for a skill slot than the Bat companion.
Yes I have a crossbow with 1337 damage just because I can.

Re: How to Multishot - A Speedfarming DH Guide
Diab@ you need a hatred generator because you have virtually no dps. With Steady Aim and Archery you don't even break 60k. You also have high resall and phys resist, which makes your DH gear look like leftovers from a OWE monk. It might be worthwhile for me to repeat that you can't go generator-free until you get your DPA high enough that you don't run out of hatred during elite fights; until then you still need one, so Sentry is a late-game addition.

Re: How to Multishot - A Speedfarming DH Guide
I've been running this for questing/leveling from mid A1 inferno and I breezed through both A1 and A2 all on mp0 of course. Now A3 has been a little tougher. I upgraded some of my gear to get some more dps and MF. I'm only at around 40k dps but I'm Critting 60+% of the time at 60-70k crits. A little bit better of a weapon and i might get some higher crits. only a 12xx rare crossbow right now. Not wonderful by any means but I've done pretty well so far. Hatred is starting to become a bit of an issue now that it is taking several shots to down elite packs. I can't speed run yet, but for leveling and questing I'm doing pretty okay. When I first went together some better gear for this build I missed the discipline and hatred part and only got hatred regen so I cannot spam ToC.
after clearing A1 through half of A3 I had gotten about 500k to go invest in auctions. But I'm looking forward to getting some more gold to get some even better upgrades. Nothing like being a poor man! No legendaries or awesome rares so far but I just upgraded my MF to 218% towards the end of A3. Maybe I'll go back and do some mp1 runs of A1 or A2 and see how that goes before delving into A3 much more.
thanks for the guide! I've had to tweak a little because of my lack of gear so far, but its been really helpful. This build definitely works through the early parts of inferno with much less than what is listed for decent runs. Surely not the speed runs though.

Re: How to Multishot - A Speedfarming DH Guide
Im actually using a similar build... http://us.battle.net/d3/en/profile/X.../hero/15988555
Actually, I kill things with Bola Shot AND Multiple Shot.
There are many things pointed here that i might consider,
I realized im wasting runes/disc with my Vault-Action Slot, will most likely changed to Tumble.
At first, i think the hatred/disc regen from health globe using Vengeance is not feasible, i might consider dropping Night Stalker for this after some test when i get home.
Im pretty much a fragile DH, my ehp is around 100k so basically I "manually" defended myself using vault when things get tough, and make sure im 100% Gloom on, in which i can maintain with my current setup at MP0~. But white mobs basically dies after 3 bolashots+1 MS all in 2 seconds => the counter i somehow instinctively setup so that when I MS them they explode from bolas with my 2.40~ IAS, at the same time regen my Hatred.
My Cluster Arrow-Dazzling Arrow is basically to stunlock elites and keeping them in place. So i can freely bolashot or occasional MS them (disc regen) without too much pressure in defending.
The great thing about using a DH is how they breeze around the map, making farming with much less effort. Thanks to Vault-TA.
With the 60 disc i have, i almost forgot until i read it from here that Tumble is the rune of choice for vault since i perpetually vaulting around the map without running my disc dry, due to MS-SF, and the Preparation worth using with a big Disc pool.
MS is a fun and viable skill for a DH in lower MP levels,
So whenever i managed to have a DH party member using it in Pub games,
I smile..... coz he also knows what a great skill it is.
Kudos for Deathklok for pointing that out to many.

Re: How to Multishot - A Speedfarming DH Guide
Actually, I never said that I needed a hatred generator. I meant that I prefer to use an active skill in order to generate extra hatred when needed, over the passive Bat Companion that your build uses. As for my dps, it's not the greatest but it works for me and my budget and allows me to take down elite packs with relative ease.
That said, I do not farm at all, so maybe the "speedfarm" aspect of your build requires the passive rather than the active skill.

We were traveling with our two year old daughter. We had a few minor problems in trying to schedule things. As anyone with children can tell you, they don't change schedules well. Outside of the restaurant serving breakfast (which was very good), there was not a place to get anything to drink before 11am (and to enter the restaurant you could not be in a bathing suit or without shoes - kind of a problem when you've been by the pool/ocean since 9am). Also, dinner did not start until 6:30PM (one hour time change from home) which is kind of late for your daughter, and she fell asleep a couple nights in our arms at dinner.
Our entourage (seven family members) had two two-bedroom units. We called down and asked to be located nearby. They said no problem. When we got there we were at opposite ends of the hotel and they would not attempt to accomodate us (even though the resort was at 50% occupancy). We (my wife, daughter, and I) had a first floor unit which we thought was good - nice patio, close to pool, etc. However, we had nothing but problems with noise (the resort had a beach party for some group in the lot beside the hotel and they had to use the bathroom by our room), people partying on our patio at 1am. Luckily my daughter slept well but I can't say the same for my wife and I.

As for the snack bar for lunch, we were served an uncooked hot dog (cold) barely browned in four little lines. The French fries were cold and uncooked too. We thought that we might have better luck with the hamburgers the next day and asked them to cook everything longer. The burger was still red and fries uncooked, though warm. LaIntimo, the a la carte restaurant, was awful. You were supposedly only allowed to eat there once in a week. At LaIntimo I ordered the seafood with hollandaise sauce and cheese topping appetizer. What came was a strange soup with unidentifiable pieces of seafood wallowing in hollandaise sauce served in a soup bowl! My husband ordered the coconut shrimp appetizer they didn't de-vein or remove the tail before rolling and deep-frying, however he said that even though he didn't taste any coconut it was the best food he had there!
We then had the ribeye steak it was NOT a ribeye, and was grizzly and fatty and was cooked well done (ironic isn't it since we couldn't get them to cook a hotdog!). The laughable part was that when we complained to the manager we were offered only to dine EVERY NIGHT at La Intimo!! We did try La Intimo again. I ordered smoked salmon with cream cheese and spinach appetizer after I asked the waiter to make sure I knew what I was getting. What came was a block of cream cheese cut in half with smoked salmon (very thin slices) and spinach (two leaves each) on bottom, middle, and top. It was like un-wrapping a block of un-whipped cream cheese and eating it with a fork. And I'm serious, both pieces were three-quarters of an inch thick and then slapped together!! We then ordered the chicken kiev, which was very greasy (even after coating and skin were removed) because it was done in the same deep fryer that they cooked the french fries in.
As for the regular dinner buffet, one night the only thing we could eat was greasy pasta, us and the only other table of non-Spanish speaking people, and it wasn't because it was too spicy--everything tasted BLAND!

We had 3 mini-refigerators; but had to go to the bar for ice.
It's "All Inclusive" yet the food is terrible.
They have no state side television stations on their cable; even though all of the other hotels do have it.
The place was nearly empty; but hotels all around were nearly full. (That tells it all.)
(I was told by another guest that the previous week the hotel hosted a gay convention, forcing them to stay elsewhere.)

Whey Protein and Protein Powders
Whey protein, other types of protein powder and protein shakes are widely regarded as the single most important bodybuilding supplement for gaining muscle mass, boosting athletic performance, improving muscle tone and increasing overall health. Most people do not consume enough protein in their daily diet and protein powder can be used to add additional protein to your diet easily and conveniently!
Whey protein is the most popular form of protein powder. It is highly bio-available, low in fat and carbohydrates, and digests relatively rapidly. Bodybuilding Warehouse Premium Whey is a great choice and makes it an ideal post-workout shake when fast sources of protein are needed. However if you're using protein powder before bed or between meals, you may want to consider selecting a good quality protein blend like Bodybuilding Warehouse Performance Protein or micellar casein. Bodybuilding Warehouse Premium Casein is the UK's best quality, best value miceller casein and is ideal for those looking for an anti-catabolic protein that will slowly drip feed their muscles over an 8 hour period. For a low fat post workout option Whey IsoClear (our fruity whey isolate) is an excellent choice.

|La Directora de la OPS llama a la Unidad para detener la epidemia de las ECNT, una epidemia mundial que exige una respuesta global
Nos acercamos a un momento histórico en la lucha contra las enfermedades crónicas no transmisibles (ECNT): cardiovasculares, cáncer, diabetes y obesidad, enfermedades respiratorias crónicas y factores de riesgo asociados como régimen alimentario no saludable, inactividad física, consumo de tabaco y uso perjudicial del alcohol, que están causando millones de defunciones prematuras por año y se han convertido en el principal costo-conductor de la salud para la mayoría de los países. [en inglés]
" The World Health Organization is the ideal convener to build the world wide coalition that is required to achieve success, protect the people and bring health and prosperity for the current and future generations "
Speech at the opening ceremony of the
Dr. Ala Alwan, ADG, Noncommunicable Diseases and Mental Health (MNH);
Dr. Werner Obermeyer, and Dr Karen Sealey, WHO UN NY
Colleagues from AFRO, EMRO, EURO, SEARO and WPRO
Members of our staff:
It gives me great pleasure to welcome you to PAHO, the house of health in the Americas, as we gather for this important WHO-wide planning meeting for the UN High Level Meeting on NCDs, which as you know will take place in New York on 19-20 September 2010.
In welcoming you, I would like to reflect on the opportunity of the historic importance of this High Level Meeting (HLM), the second one to be devoted to a health issue, the role of the Organization, share with you also some insights from my recent participation in the Executive Board discussion on NCDs, and in the World Economic Forum annual meeting in Davos, Switzerland, and look at our expectations from this meeting.
I would also like to specially recognize and thank Dr. Ala Alwan for his leadership role of the Noncommunicable Diseases and Mental Health (NMH) cluster in Geneva, and his commitment to the cause of NCD prevention and control. With him and the GPG Global Policy Council chaired by the DG with the 6 RDs, the need for a WHO wide planning meeting was identified and we offered AMRO to be the venue for it.
The initiative to move to a high level meeting at the UN was generated from this Region, with the Caribbean countries holding their historic Summit of CARICOM Heads of State in September 2007 in Trinidad and Tobago, this summit led to the "Declaration of Port of Spain", a call to Unite to stop the epidemic of NCDs, and a 15-point, multi-sectoral action agenda. Early evaluations have shown that that high level political commitment was essential, but not sufficient, as ongoing work needs to be done to build capacity in countries to implement. There was also recognition that NCDs are a global epidemic, demanding a global response.
Since that beginning, the momentum has grown - through the Commonwealth Heads of Government meeting later in 2007, the Summit of the Americas, the ECOSOC, the WHA- to the decision of the UN in May of 2010 to have a High Level Meeting on 19-20 September.
The UN HLM in September represents a unique policy window opening to:
1. Put NCD prevention and control on the global development and economic agenda
We know that NCDs like cardio vascular disease (CVD), cancer, diabetes and obesity, and chronic respiratory disease, and associated risk factors like unhealthy diet, physical inactivity, tobacco use and harmful use of alcohol are causing millions of premature deaths per year and have become the major cost-driver in health for most countries. This, however, is still not sufficiently well appreciated by policy makers and the public.
At one level, NCDs may be seen simply as a major new challenge in health resulting from the so called demographic transitions (urbanization, lifespan extension, ageing). At another level, NCDs may be seen as symptoms of the failures of our development paradigm in the world today. That is because NCDs are linked to deeper social and environmental determinants such as access to services, agri-food policies, transport and urban planning; education and social protection policies; poverty and economic development, behavioral changes and incorporation of global trends of choices and adoption of foreign cultural models.
And that is why we need a UN HLM, to raise awareness at the highest level, and stimulate an "all of society" response to address this most important public health challenge in global health, to generate multi sector action to implement the proven cost-effective measures like tobacco control, dietary salt reduction, scale up access to preventive care for CVD, transform diets and levels of physical activity to combat obesity, which has emerged in the last 2 decades as a major problem. The need for the all of society response is the reason that we are committed to build a multi-partner Partners Forum to take joint action between sectors and we offer to share the experiences, in what is not an easy task - innovation.
I would like to refer to some of the important messages we need to hear so that we plan to address them during the regional consultations and global meetings like Moscow.
1) These are not the priorities of the poor countries or the poor people in every country. When we have the evidence that the burden is accumulating and raising faster among them.
3) The need to concentrate in achieving the MDGs when we are already 2/3 down the road and should start thinking beyond 2015 and also we can show the intimate relationship of the health of mothers and children to the risk factor and burden of NCDs.
4) The complexity in addressing the multifactorial and multilevel interventions, when we know that the whole of society took us to where we are (marketing and agri policies, industrialized food chain, sedentary life, tobacco and alcohol complacency) and therefore we can use of that knowledge that moved us into the wrong direction and apply them to the right direction.
5) The challenges in changing human and social behaviors when we know that the public is moving fast to a culture of wellness and celebration of life and health and also appreciating and increasingly worrying about the intimate linkage between human and the planet's healthy survival.
6) The challenge of 80% people living in our Region live in urban settings, so municipal level is so important for action.
7) The challenge of huge number of people already have an NCD. 250 million ppl in our region have some NCD already; need to engage and empower them in a new way. Information technology will play key role, eg, mobile health /cellphones will have to be part of the solution.
Within AMRO/PAHO, recognizing the importance of the UN HLM, and given the issue of chronic disease prevention and control involves work from across the Organization from many areas, I have established a Task Force chaired by me and including Deputy Director (DD) and Assistant Director (AD). Its inter-programmatic nature responds to the fact that chronic diseases cannot be addressed solely by one Area/project and a complex process is involved in the chronic disease strategy which spans promotion, prevention of risks, and management of diseases, grounded in good science. These require coordinated efforts from many sectors which include health and other public sectors, the private sector and civil society.
The purpose of this Task Force is to provide guidance and oversight across AMRO/PAHO Areas and coordinate an Organization wide effort to prepare for the 2011 UN Summit on NCDs and beyond. We hope this will contribute to the WHO-wide effort. The Task Force will meet monthly, leading up the September UN meeting. It will function for a period of 2 years to leverage the UN Summit on NCDs and other major events in 2012 that include the G-8/G-20, the Summit of the Americas, and the Summit of the Social Determinants of Health. You will receive more details today on our preparatory steps, and we are happy to share all our plans and materials, and to learn from the other Regions what you are doing and cross-fertilize for a richer overall effort. Many streams are connecting into a big river leading to the UN Summit and beyond.
Within the wider WHO, in countries, and among partners, we are aware that intensive preparatory activities have commenced with a number of global, regional and national activities completed, and many more planned. It is critical at this time that we come together as an Organization and that we update our plans for the coming months leading to the HLM. We need to exchange and plan together to guide the participation of high level VIP figures in the different events, and also take this debate to the diverse forums, Ministers of Finance and Planning, Urbanism, Food and agri policies, water use and climate change, recreation and safe spaces for people to move, Youth movements, faith based institutions, mass media briefings to get the adherence of journalists.
We also need to identify multilevel interventions engaging from the top policy level to the local governments and community leaders. And as DG has said we need to learn from HIV AIDS regarding the importance of creating a social movement which in our case is about health and well being and also to focus on prevention and not only into care and cure.
That is why we are moving ahead with 2 major initiatives: one called the Be well week in collaboration with Mayor Bloomberg and WEF to start with NYC and other cities that may sign up, we have the mayor of Mexico already interested. And the other is the Workplace wellness coalition that is sponsored by the WEF and is being applied already in major corporations but will spread also worldwide. The most critical and fundamental instrument is our Global Strategy because we have the information on the problem and the interventions to address it. But as the DG says the health sector is at the receiving end and we have called the attention to the whole of society regarding the responsibility to change now in order to prevent a major crash and confront the sad prospect of watching the first generation that may shorten its life expectancy below their parents achievement.
I hope you can exchange on your creativity and expectations towards the role of WHO in making the UN HLM on NCD a crucial turning point in the world awareness and commitment to the collective's responsibility and optimism in confronting and averting this tremendous storm.
We can take our part of the responsibility from the health sector but it will not be enough and tomorrow we will listen to other partners that are already on board to act from their own constituencies. WHO is the ideal convener to build the world wide coalition that is required to achieve success, protect the people and bring health and prosperity for the current and future generations.
I wish you well and look forward with keen interest to the outcomes.
Thank you.

Back in September I wrote about sinningia, an African violet relative with an unusual tuber that grows above the soil. At the time my plant was in full bloom. It is now going into dormancy and has been losing leaves. The photo above is what it looked like yesterday in its current home underneath lights in my basement. [Please note that the leaves are green. They look yellowy/red because of the back light coming from fluorescents.]
I was prompted to write about the plant because I received an email this week from Tim Tuttle, the person who created the hybrid I am growing, 'Kevin Garnet.' A few of you asked if the plant was named for the pro basketball player of the same name. Well, Tim has answered. Here's what he had to say:
I had to laugh about the comments about the name being in honor of the basketball player. It is NOT named for the basketball player, but rather for my nephew who happens to have the same name. I made this hybrid about ten years ago and named it in honor of my older nephew Kevin.
If you're interested in learning more about less common Gesneriads (African violet relatives), Tim keeps a blog called A Passion for Petrocosmea, the focus of which is on this peculiar genus. I find the conditions in my home are too dry to grow them well — my single attempt to keep one failed miserably and I have shifted away from most humidity-loving plants as a result. More room for succulents! Still, I find Petrocosmea incredibly fascinating as many of them grow in an almost unreal, nearly-perfect, circular form. They'd make an interesting step forward if you have a lot of success with African violets. I only wish I'd tried them when I had better growing conditions.

Now that we have at least the alleged URL, I am going to add the info from it below in case it ends up dying due to traffic, Sony, etc.
I still am impressed at the length these guys are going to if this isn't legit honestly... writing that FAQ alone would take some time heh.ZPack Playstation 3 Backup System developed for PS3.
Zpack is the first working Backup System for Playstation3. It was especially designed for Playstation Cafes across the world to avoid damaging your original game disk and beware them to be stolen by customers. You will not need the original disk to play your PS3 games anymore just start any game you have directly from your external hard disk.
Zpack comes to you with a USB Dongle and a DISK with the Zpack Software, which you only need the first time for installation. The USB dongle have to be connected to your PS3 all the time. When you run a Playstation Café with 8 Playstation Terminals, you will need 8 Zpacks for each PS3 Terminal to run the games from the external drives. Please pay Attention for our Zpack bundles.
Can I use more than one external hard disk for backups on one PS3?
Yes, you can have e.g. one ex.hd for your games and another for your HD movies.
After Installing Zpack my PS3 is freezing, I can backup and play games without problems but the PS3 clock is showing sometimes the wrong time/wrong date and things like that?
Yes, while installing and using Zpack the PS3 OS is "slowed down" (Asymmetric Scheduling is changing) The Zpack USB Dongle is taking Control of scheduling and of the resources. We noticed the problem with the PS3 clock and controller assignment. But when you mount your games everything will be working. Tip: after installation - while turning on your PS3 with Zpack disconnect your ext. hard disk.
Can I play online when I start the games from my external hard disk?
Yes, all PS3 games on your external hard disk can be played online.
Can I edit/upload Data from the Zpack disk or from the USB Dongle?
No, please don't upload anything regarding the Zpack Backup System. We just want to stay in the background and give our customers the service they need. Use it for your PS3 cafe or personal but don't share anything about Zpack.
How many PS3 game Backups can I make on a 1 Terabyte external hard disk?
It depends on the games you choose. Approximately 45-55 Games or Blue rays (film).
After installing Zpack using my external hard disk all data were erased on the ext. hard disk?
Don't use ext. Hard disks with important data for PS3 Backups. As we also mentioned in the Installing guide coming to you with your Zpack we recommend using a completely empty external hard disk because it will be formatted. Use a recovery tool to rescue data when your data is deleted.
Which payment methods do you accept?
We accept Paypal, Moneybookers and Paysafe Card.
Can I make backup of games which I don`t own ?
NO, we don`t want our Zpack to be misused and will report any misuse immediately. This system was designed for Playstation Cafes to prevent the original disks from damages and scratches.
Is it Illegal to use Zpack?
Zpack in use with the games you have bought is not illegal (depending to your country). You should not tell everybody about your Zpack System. Dont misuse the Zpack system and backup games you dont have bought.
Can I start a copy (blue ray Disk) of a PS3 game with Zpack ?
Yes, just choose the option MOUNT MEDIA to run your copies.
Can I install the software on two different PS3?
Yes you can install it on different systems but only the system with the USB dongle will be able to mount the game images from your external hard disk.
Do I need Linux for Installation?
No, if you have Linux on you PS3 Zpack will not work. You need to reinstall the original firmware. The Installation Process of Zpack is easy just follow the steps and Zpack will work properly.
Which Firmware do I need on my PS3 to Install Zpack?
Zpack is working with all original PS3 Firmwares. (tested up to firmware 3.15)
Is Zpack working on the PS3 Slim?
Yes, order the Zpack for PS3 slim.
Do I need Internet for Zpack Installation?
No, you dont need Internet for installation.
You are using XP Installer for installation. Can I install other windwos apps?
No, the look of the installer is just a grafik we used to confuse some guys which tried to get behind the Zpack System. You'll see that the buttons on the right corner have no function. we are working on new apps, which were specially designed for Zpack. Don't try to install anything.
Can I Make a Copy of the USB Dongle?
No, please dont connect the USB Dongle to a USB port of a PC or MAC. The USB Dongle will be destroyed, especially when you have Anti Virus and Firewall running. Please handle the USB Dongle with care. In cases where we can proof that the Dongle was connected to a PC or MAC, we will not make an exchange in order of damage.
Why do you have so long shipping times?
First of all we have a lot of orders and we are working really hard to send all orders as soon as possible. We are not shipping from USA. According to your country the shipping can last 6-9 days.
Can I sell Zpack in the country I am living?
Yes, in order for those running a business and want to earn money with Zpack we have Zpack reseller packages.
We want to thank all our friends and partners supporting us all the time. Thanks to our friends from "the company" supporting our project directly from the source.Another big "thank you" to our RTS division, you are great guys, without you Zpack would never be such easy and user friendly. Keep up the good work.
Thanks to NEO who is designing THE NEW ZPACK ONLINE SHOP (online February 2010) with intern board and customer management system (upgrades and order tracking system)
We would like to thank all our customers for so much positive feedback and for your patience (I know I know our shipping times J but 2010 we will be better)
We wish all of you a happy new year and a lot of fun in 2010 with your Zpacks.

I must say, after reading the "Zpack FAQ" I am happy to see this part of it:
Also, here are the individual pages: http://zpps.space4free.net/Zpack_1.htmlYou are using XP Installer for installation. Can I install other windwos apps?
No, the look of the installer is just a grafik we used to confuse some guys which tried to get behind the Zpack System. You'll see that the buttons on the right corner have no function. we are working on new apps, which were specially designed for Zpack. Don't try to install anything.

I still think it's fake... they are hosting on a free webspace http://zpps.space4free.net
Here is an obvious question that hasn't been asked yet.. if the Zpack is legit and someone from here gets hold of one, does anyone think it will be able to be hacked?
According to the FAQ and sales pages, it comes with a USB Dongle and Software Installation Disc. We all know the disc could be ripped and uploaded in minutes all over the Internet, but I wonder how "protected" the code could be on the dongle chip and how difficult it would be to dump and reverse?
Does anyone have any experience with USB flash stick chips that can share some insight into the level of difficulty and what would be involved. Offhand, I don't even know what type of chip the "code" would typically be stored on.
Also, I wonder why there is a normal PS3 and a PS3 Slim version of it.
Here is yet another Zpack video.. this time for Virtual Tennis Pro 3:
HERE to the separate versions of it for the PS3 and Slim... even on the "bundle" link you will notice a dropdown to select which version PS3 it is.
If you can find somewhere this is contradicted, then we may be able to uncover a scam indeed.
If it turns out that it is a fake then that's the best fake ever!

This quadrature encoder works with Pololu micro metal gearmotors, 42x19mm wheel, and extended bracket to measure the rotation speed and direction of the wheel. With twelve teeth on the wheel, the system provides a resolution of 48 counts per revolution, which corresponds to a linear resolution of just under 3 mm or 1/8".
These tiny brushed DC gearmotors are intended for use at 6 V, though in general, these kinds of motors can run at voltages above and below this nominal voltage, so they should comfortably operate in the 3 - 9 V range (rotation can start at voltages as low as 0.5 V). Lower voltages might not be practical, and higher voltages could start negatively affecting the life of the motor. The micro metal gearmotors are available in a wide range of gear ratios-from 5:1 up to 1000:1-and offer a choice between three different motors: high-power (HP), medium-power (MP), and standard. With the exception of the 1000:1 gear ratio versions, all of the micro metal gearmotors have the same physical dimensions, so one version can be easily swapped for another if your design requirements change.Some versions of the gearmotors are sold with an additional 1mm-diameter output shaft that protrudes from the rear of the motor. This 4.5mm-long rear shaft rotates at the same speed as the input to the gearbox and offers a way to add a custom-built encoder to provide motor speed or position feedback.Full range of motors available

Update: Glades Central hires Roosevelt Blackmon as its new football coachby Jeff Greer
UPDATED on Wednesday, Jan. 26, at 3 p.m.
Glades Central Athletics Director Edwin James said Wednesday that former NFL player and Glades Central alum Roosevelt Blackmon has been hired as Glades Central's new head football coach.
Blackmon replaces Jessie Hester, who was fired Dec. 17, less than a week after Glades Central lost its second consecutive state final. The school cited concerns about the academic performance of Hester's players, which he denied.
The 36-year-old Blackmon coached at Glades Central as an assistant to Larry Coffey, taking over with Mickey Freeman as an interim co-head coach in the spring of 2005 until the school hired Willie Snead. Blackmon and Freeman coached Glades Central through its spring-practice period that year. He came back to Glades Central as an assistant athletics director before the 2010-11 school year, and has been helping James with recruiting since Hester's dismissal.
"He was just the best candidate," James said. "I want him to be able to develop players and not just get top-tier athletes in school, but everybody get into school."
Players reached Tuesday were excited about Blackmon's hiring.
"I think he would be great for the job," one player said.
Another player said Blackmon was "who we all wanted."
"The kids do like him," James said. "A lot of the kids have known him all their life."
There were rumors for some time that Blackmon, who played in the NFL for the Green Bay Packers and the Cincinnati Bengals, was the odds-on favorite for the job. Blackmon has been called the "Real-Life Waterboy" in reference to his unprecedented rise from non-football recruit and assistant equipment manager at Morris Brown College to the NFL.
The search was dwindled down to eight coaches on Monday, and they were interviewed by a panel of school administration members, community leaders and James.
"They were very thorough," said one candidate who was interviewed. "I had eight people interview me."
Blackmon inherits one of the most talented teams in the state. Glades Central returns many of its top players from last year's Class 2A runner-up, including receiver Jaime Wilson, linebackers Dominique Gibson, Jatavis Brown and Don'Kevious Johnson, defensive backs Crevon LeBlanc, Will Likley, David Bailey and John Brockman, and running back Aaron Baker, among others.

I don't have a lot of time to tell you what to do step by step, and my English is really bad, but i have lots of pictures that may help anybody who want to make one of this cheap (under 50 UK Pounds)
If you have any question... Just ask, I'll be glad to help.
i m making one
but i am unable to remove backlight
plzzzzzzzzz reply fast
answer quick
i m hanged
so first light source then condenser lens then fresnel lens then lcd and finally ohp lens (i wont be using a mirror) -- is it the right order or i am missing somenthing --. hope you will answer
i could realy do with some help i have dismantled my ohp!! the transformer has seven outputs and one of then doesnt have any wires but that is not the point its just that it ways a tonne. that means the projector will do. i mean does yours and if not i dont think i need all the outputs is there a lighter one i could use? i cant say the voltage really. the brown wire says 240V and the blue one common!
Sorry for really late answer.
Mine is really heavy too. There is another way to do with is buying an electronic transformer. But they are soooo expensive, it makes the project not worthy any more if you have to buy it.
Mine is heavy, but I didn't need to move if front it's place so once is fitted, you don't worry about the weight any more.
thankyou, btw where else can you by a a triplet lens from?
The LCD is not bad, but you could probably find one with better resolution.
thanks in advance
Could you please let me know what part of the screw you need?. As I made the components that the screw is holding.
Do you have any pictures of the aluminum cylinder itself or a picture of just a random aluminum cylinder? I do not really understand what it is. A picture of it by itself would help me understand where I could get one.

Writing in my opinion, the essential kit for keyboard lacks one important tool is the fret fitter. thanks
I've always had a fear of frets/fret work etc... I think this kit is the perfect way to get started, the included book is great and explained a lot of things I wasn't sure about. I have since re-fretted a practice neck, leveled & dressed a vintage Kay banjo neck, and have leveled a fingerboard & inlays and am getting ready to add frets to my Tricone resophonic guitar project!
I received it so quickly that it just feels like ordering from my neighbour. well packed and very good quality tools. Les Français n'hésitez pas une seconde foncez!
Received the complete kit as a gift from my son and i`m really satisfy with tese tools.
StewMac won't steer you wrong!!
Perfect for what I need fine Tools
I bought this for my first ever fret/refret job. In spite of my inexperience, between the book, tools, and some online Erlewine videos, I ended up with a professional looking, well playing fret job. The other tools I made to complete the fret work are a maple caul to press and set the frets down tight after hammering, and a radius block to level sand and clean up the fret board.
Had 3 guitars that needed fret jobs. The kit,customs and shipment was half the price of a job done by my lokal dealer. It took about 2 hours pr. guitar, but the feeling of being able to do this myself is priceless, and I still have the kit.
This is a great kit, because you will use most of these tools for things other than fretting. So even if you only occasionally do fret work these tools will still be useful.
I tried some of the "cheapies" that claim to be as good as StewMac. Trust me, they're not. That old line, "you're only as good as the tools you use" ain't no old line, it's true. P A Boyer

My Big, Fat Weight-Loss Story - Updated
It's pretty easy to tell it's a new year. Sure, there's the date on the calendar, thereby messing up most of the checks I write for about a week, but the other clues are the magazine covers - diets, diets, DIETS! And it's not just magazines, I have no doubt that every talk show, morning show and news program for the next week will have an infinite number of stories about HOW TO LOSE WEIGHT. Annoying, right?
Still pondering last year
First snow and bitter cold made a sharp crease between this year and the last one. We busy ourselves with resolution making, hoping, planning, and acting for a better year (or an even better year for those who had a stellar 2010). But last year cast a long shadow, and in it is pause for reflection on its lessons.
Whatever last year held, it took us closer to our destination. This year will take us closer still, even when it doesn't make much sense in our own busy plottings. As we step into another new beginning, here's a blessing for the journey from the great John O'Donohue:
Some Quick Crime Prevention Tips

Reflections of a Homebody
You know - being around home lately seems to agree with you. Even your blood pressure is setting record lows. Maybe you should seriously think about retirement.
I give Jill the hairy eyeball and remind her that my recent confinement to quarters has not necessarily been of my choosing but largely because I am convalescing. Oh sure, it's a decadent pleasure to read a couple of daily papers and all the magazines I can handle. I've even gotten any number of books under my belt and just started on an old favorite - Chesapeake by James Michener.
Of oak trees, cell phones, and waste culture
Some friends and I are experimenting with tossing ten items a day. It's a great way to start to bring more space -- and clarity -- into our lives. And sharing with each other our lists of tossed items is entertaining and provocative, sometimes touching.
I'm thinking you can learn more by what people toss than what they display.
Some days we find ourselves tossing from the refrigerator: freezer burned veggies, that jar of curry sauce you never finished, the lurking science experiments. One day I thawed mystery packets from the freezer and had an odd but pleasing dinner of soup and baba ganoush. Eaten is better than tossed, and heating the soup killed anything that might be waiting to kill me. As to the eggplant, I remembered when I stashed it, so it was a safe enough bet.
After a few weeks of tossing tens, you become much more aware of how much ridiculous stuff most of us hang onto, how much redundance there is in it. And you start to see it everywhere.
Speaking of ridiculous stuff and tossing it, this rant will now move to electronics. Been a bad week here for those. My daughter's cell phone glass shattered, and she found it was not insured. This is the scam the electronics industry uses to save itself the trouble of creating quality, reliable products. They don't stand behind them, they don't service them. Instead, you and I pay extra for insurance. It's a gamble on things going wrong, which you might as well count on.
And the 3-month-old cell phone goes into the landfill if you don't find someone on the Net who might replace a simple piece of glass for $89, no guarantees.
Santa sent me a handset for my cell phone. Red, it looks like the handsets of yore. You plug it into the jack and you hold it in your hand. You can actually hear, talk, and do dishes with the thing pinched between head and shoulder, the way your mama did. And did I mention it looks really cool, in a funny retro sort of way?
However, the jack didn't fit my phone, so I went on a quest to find an adapter. The manufacturer offered one that cost twice what the handset cost. Google and son Geo found the fix for a mere $1.98. But when it arrived, I could hear the person I called; they couldn't hear me.
Rockets loss, takes gloss off game with Ike girls on Friday
Suddenly the South Milwaukee girls basketball game with New Berlin Eisenhower doesn't look as inviting on Friday.
Eisenhower (9-0), which really hasn't been challenged all year, hosts the Rockets (7-1) on Friday night. But the Rockets got killed by Cudahy (55-25) on Tuesday, the same Cudahy team which was crushed by Ike on Dec. 20 (64-40).
Seasonal Departure From Rational Thought
At great risk of any of you regular readers getting the idea that I am prone to superstitious beliefs I'll have you know that I am on very good terms with my threadbare Packer shirt from a decade and a half ago and my lucky green wool socks. To my mind it's all perfectly reasonable.
I consider myself to be on rather good terms with St. Hubert who is the patron saint of hunters. This is a perfectly rational belief grounded in centuries of religious practice. There are certainly more football fans than hunters. And are not Packer fans of a similar religious fervor? So why not an official patron saint?

Will you join the Revolution?
Apparently, there's gonna be a Revolution in daytime TV. The established order, venerable soap opera One Life to Live, is being usurped by a reality TV show to "help women navigate transformations extending to nutrition, mental health, medical issues and style."
What's revolutionary about yet another reality show with Ty Pennington, Tim Gunn, and a team of "superheroes of hope," you may ask, as I certainly do.
Well, not only will they revolutionize women's lives through the various forms of dress and living room fashion therapy, but they will also help us lose weight, firm up, visit gynecologists, and improve the mental issues that led us to be fat, flabby, and unfashionable in the first place.
"It starts a movement of everybody wanting to improve their life," according to the show's producer, JD Roth.
I guess nobody's ever thought about that before, and especially not women. . .Could have fooled me. Could have fooled the publishers of lady magazines, who think that women think about nothing but improving their bodies, their lives, and their recipe collections.
Now, transformation's a big thing. It's not just Oprah's penchant for putting us in bras and $200 jeans that actually fit and high end haircuts with great color, although those can make us look better. That's temporary change. Transformation's something deep and profound, something that can't be reversed. Like when a caterpillar turns into a butterfly.
Or when someone, even a woman, takes charge of her place in the world, her peace of mind and spirit, her behavior toward others --and perhaps not just inside her living room.
Winter Interest For Your Landscape
Many people ask what landscapers do in the winter months. Well, we plan for the spring and eat up catalogs from the many vendors out there. Another thing that can be done is pruning or tree trimming. My favorite thing to do is to consider winter interest for a yard. Keep in mind that the landscape changes, especially here in Wisconsin. So many begining gardeners forget to consider how thier plantings will look in the winter.
It is nice to have some evergreens such as pines or holly and other colors perhaps in bark of a certain tree or consider adding red dogwood. On a cold snow day look out your windows and consider the possibilties for hardscaping as well. I large rock or wall can add a lot of interest to you winterscape.
Huge game up next for Ike boys Friday...other notes
Looking ahead to Friday for the teams I cover, there are some huge games to look at, but none bigger than Whitnall at New Berlin Eisenhower in a battle for first.
WHITNALL: Coach Kent Kroupa's squad has the best record in the Black Division (8-1) and overall (12-1). They have won four straight games since losing their only game to Ike's cross-town rival NB West, 51-50.
Bus or Helicopter?
One of the things I remember most about grade school is the walk to and from my school every day. (Our school was about 5 blocks away.) We always walked with the same group of kids, there were a lot of them on my block, and many of us were in different grades. We met on the corner at 7:35 and headed to Christ King all by ourselves; no adults. Every year on the first day of school we would even all line up and take a picture, using the same yellow piece of cardboard on which we changed the date every year. That's me holding the sign. This was my first day of first grade and it was fun to be joining this group of bigger kids.
Bionic Dog
There is a thread over on the Tosa Town Square about: Kathleen Vinehout: Dairy Farmer, College Professor, State Senator. The individual who posted it suggested that Tosans might - Get familiar with the name. This probably has something to do with Senator Vinehout's musings about running against Governor Walker.
Recall election notwithstanding I perused the Senator's web page - and sure enough - as a farmer she and her family spent nearly two years without health insurance. It is no surprise that the discussion on the TTS almost immediately devolved into a discussion of health insurance.
Lancer boys may have more competition
Look out Brookfield Central boys basketball team, there is another challenger on the horizon - the West Allis Central Bulldogs.
Friday Morning Music
Crank-up the volume on your workstation PC and scratch your head over all the youngsters scratching their heads over this gem - not to mention the heads on the walls of the studio set.
A golden goodie from the past.
Students Reflect on Wauwatosa Catholic School during Catholic Schools' Week~ Una Parte
Fourth grade students reflected recently about attending WCS. (This is part one.) All are welcome to schedule an appointment for a tour during Catholic Schools' Week or any time. Come celebrate with us at Mass on Wednesday, February 1! 414-258-9977... ask to speak with Kathy.
Not all schools teach about God, but only this school really helped me understand it all. Now I have let go of some fears because (Wauwatosa Catholic) helped my faith in God grow. I am more confident and knowing how any people are interested in coming here, I feel lucky I am a part of this school. We learn in fun ways, and creating memorable projects helps me remember all I have learned. We don't sit there and write and write and write and get bored. Being a student here means I can improve my skills and grow. ~Sophia
Tea Party Shenanigans Take a Recess
No man's life, liberty, or property is safe, while Congress is in session.
Often attributed to Mark Twain - this observation couldn't be closer to the truth. Which is probably a contributing factor to Congress' dismally low approval rating. At the end of last year only 5 percent of likely voters surveyed by Rasmussen rated the job Congress is doing as Good or Excellent.
Power lines issue is pivotal for Wauwatosa
All around the country, people are waking up to find towers, boxes, and other energy-related structures in their backyards. Or in the case of people like our Walnut Street neighbors, in their front yards. Or in the case of people who live along parks and parkways like the Underwood Creek Parkway as I do, right there on the land that has been paid for by taxpayers and preserved for all to enjoy.
